The class schedule is a tool that helps students know what to expect from the day and mentally and physically prepare themselves for the upcoming activities. This is helpful because students like to know what is expected of them and what they are going to be doing throughout the day.<\/p>\n
The class schedule in this instance is something you provide for the students. This is a general outline of how the day is going to look for the students. You would want to include all specials like music, PE, and library. Also, when lunches and recesses will happen. It\u2019s important to include times for activities that are happening out of the classroom so that students don\u2019t have to ask, when is lunch? When can we go to recess? Or other questions such as that, they know they can look at the schedule and know what is happening. Once you have filled in all those categories it leaves you with time when learning will happen inside the classroom. You can fill in general ideas like math, ELA, or science. Or you can be specific such as adding fractions, French and Indian war, etc. Not putting time frames on in class learning allows you to be flexible depending on how long your lesson actually ends up taking.<\/p>\n
This tool works well in the preventative phase because it is something that takes place before the learning begins. It is a tool that students know they can look at to see what is taking place that particular day and what they can expect. This is really beneficial because it will prevent confusion about when certain things are happening in the day such as specials or assemblies, and students know they can look at the schedule instead of coming to you and asking you when activities are taking place, or what are we doing today. While you may remind students about the schedule throughout the day, it is a preventative tool because it is simply about taking away the anxiety of not knowing what is going to happen and letting students prepare themselves for the expectations of the day.
\nThis tool aligns more with collaborative or teacher directed. If you are teacher directed then you would decide yourself what is happening that day and when. If you are collaborative then likely you would still have most of the input as the teacher but you would allow for student input, in ways such as maybe you know the students really want to work on their science more today then maybe you would put science in the schedule over another activity you were going to do.<\/p>\n
